Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew were tasked by HM Coastguard to assess the situation regarding a yacht with engine difficulties near Nash Point.

The charity’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Rose of the Shires was launched on service and made best speed to the location. Once on scene the helm assessed the situation and decided taking the yacht in tow would be the best way to assist the casualty vessel and its occupants. The yacht was towed back to Barry.
